Let's be real, even if he went through all the trouble of designing and animating a smaller Ridley for battle, he would not be an exactly original fighter in playstyle. I'll have to agree with Sakurai here in that it's most likely not worth it.
I think I'll get Pikachu, Toon Link, Shulk, Mega Man and Ness when they release him. Probably also Kirby and Yoshi, depending on what they'll do in their games.
I'm gonna download ASAP, but I'm keeping from playing it until the evening after my midterm, to have something to look forward to and to feel better in case everything goes down. What a time to be a Wii U owner!
Favorite game revealed at E3 this year (I'm not counting Zelda since they basically only showed the expected teaser), I'm really glad I'm sticking to the good games and not all the over-hyped games people are so disappointed about right now. I've waited really long for Nintendo to bring it's charm to the multiplayer shooter genre, I can't freaking wait!
Well, tbh if there was just one amiibo to be exclusive at all, Shulk in gamestop is the one that makes the most sense. Would be kinda angry but I have a Gamestop at 15 min walking from my dorm so I'm ok with it.
As long as I can change the game with the same amiibo, I'd be getting more than I expected from those comments at E3... Surely some of my Smash Bros fighters won't be as valuable as to not change their game.
@ShadJV I'm pretty sure you still get one lati to soar with, like in the original, and if this becomes widespread enough maybe everyone will have the eon ticket at some point, making it easy enough to get even in less 3DS-dense areas.
Smash 64 is just way too recent for teenagers to be surprised of it... Kids, I would understand, but people at most 5 years younger than me should have an idea if I was able to play it back in the day.
Yeah I'm gonna buy Yoshi then just based on the number of compatible games he has. Feels kinda cheap that some figures such as Captain Falcon () will get much less use in comparison.
I'm still only getting the ones whose both fighter and design I like. Might have to rush a little into getting them though. A few of them took a pretty big blow in quality since E3 so I'm going to be checking them in-store before buying.
Thats actually a pretty good space to fill with that product. There's one or two very high selling sleep pattern apps on the app store right now, though they're highly inconvenient and probably not accurate enough. I know people would be interested in this if its cheap enough.
Any word on how exporting creations would work? I've been interested in trying pixel art for a while (I suck at regular art, at the very least), but not being able or being too hard to export to my computer would be a total deal breaker in any case.
I gotta say, the amount of software sold per Wii U in just 3 months compared to its install base is pretty impressive. We Wii U players are a committed bunch
If it was going to be up to par with melee, they would've made a much bigger buzz about it and showed it during E3 or something. I was completely expecting this, as awesome as a new cinematic opening might have been
I almost lost my mind at the Animal Crossing DLC thing. It's a game that could really be destroyed by microtransactions as we all know... NLife, please clarify it's a theme in your post.
Yeah, Master and Crazy Orders being the new event mode makes too much sense now that I think about it... The stage creator was a no brainer, but I really hope they make it significantly better this time around. The board game thing is the one that really has me intrigued... I guess that one would be Smash World, but how would that even work... Maybe like chess but with smash battles to determine the winner of every encounter?
They found more files since those, including Smash World, Ticket Selection, Special Order and Crazy Order... My guess is that they might play when the 3DS is used as a Wii U version controller, which could also explain those extra Star Fox voice credits.
Edit: Btw guys someone has mentioned 8-player smash might actually only be the new rotation mode or something (I don't even remember how that worked), so keep that in mind.
Dont know if somebody else posted this already, but the presentations of 3 secret characters (all veterans) are now available, revealing a returning stage for the Wii U
Edit: Greninja'd
Pretty predictable score. I would've liked to see more info on the controls, even if the demo already gave me a good idea. Anyway, with just 1 week to go, I can only say I'm really feeling it!
No way I'm taking a 2 hour trip for a first come-first served event, even though I usually excell at free for alls since most competitive players couldn't care less about it
I almost thought I wouldn't get mine, but I would've never gone as far as to pay for week-early use of a Demo. Gave mine to some friends, though if it would've come to it, I would've just given them away for free.

Re: Sonic Boom Exploit Allows Players to Skip Large Sections of the Game
Wow, that sounds like some "16-year-old learning to program through videogames" level glitch. Did they ever care enough to play test this?

Re: Satoru Iwata Returns to Regular Work Following Surgery
Never actually thought about it, but that's a really good reason for the absense of traditional Nintendo Directs lately.
Re: Tournament Players Pass Judgement On 8-Player Super Smash Bros.
Early comparisons to MOBAs have me really excited on the posibilities, though more than definitely 1vs1 will still hold the main stage.

Re: Super Smash Bros. 3-Poster Set Now Available from Club Nintendo in North America
I wanted the Shulk and Mega Man ones the most. I guess I'll skip then, they're pretty expensive just for posters.

Re: Mewtwo Returns to Super Smash Bros., Ridley and Metal Face Explained
I really hope this means we can get Isaac and Inkings as future DLC. Seriously, Golden Sun's absense is the game is way too suspicious
Re: Atlus Discounts 3DS eShop Titles in North America
At this point I doubt anyone would actually go and buy any of these games for full price. They basically go on sale every other week...
Re: This Super-Cute Toon Link Nendoroid is Looking for Adventure
Looks nice and has a reasonable price, but my wallet tells me I'll just hold off for the Toon Link amiibo (Toon Link is one of my mains )

The only other Nintendo Warriors title I'd like to see is Fire Emblem, nothing else seems to fit the style quite as well.
